The Artwork
About This Print
Capture the Aesthetic of 1960s Cinema
Celebrate one of the most defining films of the New Hollywood era with this stunning, modern interpretation of The Graduate. Created by the renowned artist Laurent Durieux, this poster captures the intoxicating mood and sexual tension of the 1967 classic. The artwork features a striking, saturated color palette dominated by oranges and blues, perfectly embodying the mid-century modern setting of Southern California, where Benjamin Braddock finds himself adrift after college.
An Iconic Visual Narrative
Durieux’s design brilliantly summarizes the film’s core conflict. We see the looming presence of Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), whose shapely legs and hand holding a highball glass dominate the foreground. She overlooks the pool where Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) is submerged, fully outfitted in his infamous scuba gear, symbolizing his isolation, directionless future, and detachment from the adult world pressing in on him. This visual juxtaposition—the sensual proximity of Mrs. Robinson and the metaphorical confusion of Benjamin—makes this one of the most compelling alternative movie posters ever created.
Laurent Durieux Collectible Art
Perfect for collectors of movie memorabilia and modern pop art, this piece is a must-have for fans of Mike Nichols’ masterpiece and the stylish screen-printing work of Laurent Durieux. Hang this provocative poster in your living room, office, or entertainment space to add a sophisticated, conversation-starting element to your decor. It’s a powerful homage to the cinematic masterpiece featuring the unforgettable music of Simon & Garfunkel.

After It Arrives
How to Frame & Display Your Print
Four simple steps, tube to wall — no tools, no specialist knowledge.
-
Unroll & Let It Relax
Remove from the tube and lay face-down on a clean flat surface for 20–30 minutes. The 200 GSM matte stock self-relaxes — any shipping curl releases without heat or moisture.
-
Pick a Standard Frame
Every size matches a standard off-the-shelf frame — IKEA HOVSTA, Target Threshold, Amazon Basics. An 18×24" drops in directly. No trimming, no custom framing.
-
Glass Is Optional
Our matte finish eliminates glare, so hanging without glass often shows more detail — particularly deep blacks and shadow gradients. If you prefer glass, use UV-protective acrylic.
-
Avoid Direct UV Sunlight
Archival pigment inks are rated for 75+ years indoors. Choose a wall with indirect or diffused natural light for the longest possible display life.
